Selfridge is really, really, really good!!! I've also watched it from the start, too. The second season seems better than the first.

The Paradise was what I'd call a much smaller and quieter Mr. Selfridge. The story was also about an English department store and the time period was similar. The lead female character was named Denise who was a shop girl with lots of interesting ideas on how to sell women's clothing and the owner of the store was Mr. Moray. His wife had died, under mysterious conditions, and along the way he became engaged to an upper class woman. Throughout the first season, we see a romance develop between Denise and Moray.

Now I'm starting to remember!!! There was also a beloved boy who had been born in the store!!! Yeah, that was a really good show!!! Denise's uncle owned the store across the street, and Denise had a huge business sense and was looking like she was going to be a competitor for Moray. How could they NOT fully develop this story out?? The potential there was just outrageous!!!

These people are pathetic! :nod

Yayyyy! I binged on Poldark on Netflix. I was so sad when I finished all the episodes that I downloaded 2 books onto my Kindle so I could start all over again in print.

Selfridge is SO much better in series 2. I'm so sad it's ending Sunday. I watched The Paradise as well. Good, and maybe even better than series 1 Selfridge, but not series 2. Did I mention how much I'm loving series 2 Selfridge? :D

I just went to Netflix and searched for Poldark, it said not available for streaming. Did you order the DVD?
